Services say they are starting but never do

Running Backup Exec 9 with latest patch on a W2K server.

Backup Exec was stuck on loading media. I stopped all services because that
is wha a knowledge base doc had said to do about that when I had the issue
previously (when it says loading media and never does anything).
I started services and it's stuck on starting services. It keeps asking me
for my password (which it never does usually) and the services never actually
start.
